From Text to 'Lived' Resources cover

What kinds of curriculum materials do mathematics teachers select and use, and how? This question is complex, in a period of deep evolutions of teaching resources, with the proficiency of online resources in particular. How do teachers learn from these materials, and in which ways do they ‘tailor’ them for their use and pupil learning? Teachers collect resources, select, transform, share, implement, and revise them. Drawing from the French term « ingénierie documentaire »,we call these processes « documentation ». The literal English translation is « to work with documents », but the meaning it carries is richer. Documentation refers to the complex and interactive ways that teachers work with resources; in-class and out-of-class, individually, but also collectively.

From the reviews:

“This book is clearly intended for mathematics education researchers who investigate the preparation and teaching of K–12 mathematics teachers, it would also be of interest to mathematics teacher educators and curriculum designers. … The book is organized into four parts – each part has an introductory chapter and is followed by an ‘expert’s reaction.’ … a worthwhile read for those who are interested in how teachers use a variety of resources, material and non-material, digital and non-digital.” (Annie Selden, MAA Reviews, December, 2012)
